The hostess and staff were super welcoming and were happy to strike up a chat at the bar. We talked about local recommendations and anime. They tried their best to speak English so we could understand, but this would be a great place to come practice your Japanese! The inn was adorable with decorations everywhere. We stayed in the One Piece themed room which was big enough to sleep 2 people or a couple. It is about a 13 minute walk to the station but very easy access to Kyoto and Lake Biwa was right across the street! The inn also had a full size pool table that was The Walking Dead themed and bar that we used to unwind after a long day of sightseeing. Our room was cleaned and made up everyday and they drove us to the train station after checkout.

    Excellent ryokan stay near Lake Biwa! We had a private bath in our room which was lovely, and the room itself was spacious with a separate dining area which was very convenient. Provided toiletries were high quality and the ameneties bar was well-stocked. Staff were friendly and adept at using translation apps to speak with us as necessary. Whole area was quiet and overall a wonderful night spent.

    One of the best places we have stayed in Japan. This place was mostly out of reach from the hustle and bustle of Kyoto, yet close enough to many other overlooked attractions. The space was very well taken care of, and our hosts had top-notch hospitality. Special thanks to Sachiko-San who took the extra effort to speak with us in English and made us feel at home. Next time we might want to stay here longer to embrace the peace and tranquility of Otsu. Grateful for this stay!

    The guesthouse is beautifully decorated and mostly self-built by the host couple. They offered a free welcome drink and we could play pool for free. The rooms are anime themed which also was pretty cool. The host couple was very welcoming and helpful. They really went out of their way for us.
